Considering her penchant for drugs, alcohol and promiscuity, Lindsay Lohan has never really been considered a role model.

As The Hollywood Gossip has mentioned previously, though, the actress' relationship with Samantha Ronson appears to have calmed her down a bit. Moreover, her plea this week for everyone to get out there and vote has earned Lohan our admiration.

"I cannot say how important it is for everyone to get out there," Lindsay wrote in a MySpace blog. "Vote – because your thoughts are worth it. VOTE – because YOU can make this country a better place. VOTE – because you can."

The Mean Girls star also urged readers to vote down a pair of initiatives on the California ballot: Proposition 8 (which attempts to ban gay marriage) and Proposition 4 (which requires parents to get 48-hours notice before any doctor performs an abortion on a minor).

"Just one vote can make such a difference," writes Lohan, a proud Barack Obama supporter.
